F reg Morris 1100....dark blue with yellow bonnet and big whip aerial.
Ford Cortina Mk2, 1300.....easy to make the back wheels lock when braking if no-one in the back.
Ford Escort Mk1 1100.
Ford Escort Mk2 1300.....ex police car so had added extras like anti-roll bars and bigger battery, and zip in the roof lining!
Hilman Avenger. Broke a head bolt while refitting the cylinder head.
Fiat 132 2000 auto. Lovely car with all the gadgets of the time.
Fiat Strada auto. Almost my worst ever car.
Pergeot 405 (My choice of company car). Good car but poor engine...only time I've ever called the RAC. RAC call centre: "You're at Stonehenge. Where exactly?" Me: "In the car park near a big pile of rocks, it has been here a while".
Volvo 440(I think) (Temporary company car). Worst car. Gutless and grey with not much room inside.
Vauxhall Cavalier 2L Mk2 (I think) (Temporary company car). Liked it so much I bought it.
N reg Ford Mondeo 1.8L Mk1. Good car.
W reg Ford Mondeo 2L Mk2. Another good car.
52 reg Honda Civic Type S. Good for beating Golf GTi's, 33MPG not good compared to Mondeo, even with carefull driving. 4 alloys replaced, assorted rusty bits repaired under warranty.
56 reg Honda Civic 2.2 ES. Great car, if only it was assembled without all the squeeks and creaks.
